Fit Buddha changed my life, seriously! I had not worked out for over ten years when I started…read morebecause I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. I underwent a bilateral mastectomy, and went through another 10 (yes 10) reconstructive surgeries over the course of two years and topped that off with spinal fusion 4 years ago. I had just turned sixty and honestly felt I was forever doomed to a weak, shapeless body. I was shy and embarrassed. But from the moment I walked into Fit Buddha, everything shifted. The space was welcoming, the instructors were warm and encouraging, and the energy was pure empowerment. They met me exactly where I was--physically and emotionally--and helped me build strength I thought I'd lost forever. Slowly, class by class, I began to feel muscles I hadn't felt in years waking up again. I started standing taller, moving with more confidence, and, dare I say it, feeling powerful. This isn't just a workout--it's a healing journey wrapped in sweat and trembling muscles. The Lagree method is no joke (your glutes will write you angry letters), but it's also deeply transformative. I am stronger, leaner, and more connected to my body than I ever was in my 30s or 40s. And the best part? I now look forward to movement. I'm no longer working out to punish my body--I'm showing up to honor it. To anyone who feels like their best days are behind them, or that they're too far gone to make a change--please hear me: you are not. Fit Buddha helped me reclaim my strength, my confidence, and my joy. And for that, I will be forever grateful. So thank you Marcus, Ava and all of your amazing instructors!

I signed up for an Intro beginners class through ClassPass…read more Upon entering I was greeted by the instructor, who was friendly and welcoming. At first glance the studio seems to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Once class began, she demonstrated and explained each move clearly. We had a small group so she regularly checked on each person to make sure our form was correct. This course turned out to be more challenging than I expected. It was recommended by the instructor to take a few beginners courses until you're more familiar and comfortable with using the megareformer. Overall it was a good workout, would definitely consider attending another class.

I have tried: Candle Light Yoga Yoga Strength Total Body Bands Mat Pilates All the instructors are very knowledgeable and know their craft! They truly are phenomenal. I love the more boutique and personal feeling you get coming to this studio. They get to know everyone who goes! I'm excited to incorporate more of these classes into my regular routine. If I lived closer I would definitely get an unlimited pass she now offers. However, since I'm about a 20-25 min drive, I'm going to have to stick with what works for my schedule and convenience. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and GO! All always offers your first class free. It's a gem and we need to support women owned small businesses!

My coworker (a fellow traveler) recommended this place. The added benefit of this place is you can sign up online and pay for classes individually or in a package. I convinced myself to sign up for AlReal Yoga. Please know I haven't done yoga in over a year and at no point did I look graceful or at all like I know what I'm doing. AlReal Yoga involves the use of a hammock to provide a deeper stretch because you get a little more stability. I thought I'd lost my mind for deciding to make that my first experience trying yoga again. Bless Belinda. She took one look at me and came over to offer reassurance. I appreciated the fact that she helped me figure out what to do during class when I floundered around with the hammock. After sweating like I'd run 3 miles and feeling like and uncoordinated oaf, I promised myself I'd come back the following week. I noticed the next day I was sore in all the right places. I ended signing up for Morning Yoga with Jami and enjoyed that also. She reassured me and I got an excellent stretch from that session. This place is ideal because they have so many options for classes. Not just yoga, but barre/spin/Pilates/fusion classes. I'm hoping to give a barre class a try and feel Okay about being a novice because the instructors seem to know how to work with the untried. A very welcoming place

I mostly attended Sami's classes as they lined up with my schedule and I feel like she is true gold. One of the best instructors I've had in any sport or any workout class I've done for 34 years of my life. Highly recommended checking out her class if you're on the fence. This place is a real gem.

This is hands-down the best place for group classes in Santa Clarita…read more My biggest pet peeve with some fitness studios is that they're not always the cleanest, but this place is always super clean!!! As someone who gets grossed out easily, this is a huge selling point for me. I love that the workout room is carpeted and they make you wear closed-toe socks to workout in. They have lockers to leave your stuff, and there are two sinks in the locker room area to wash your hands before/after class. There's mouth wash, mints, hair ties, lotion, etc. available to use as well. The owner Kimberly is great and has gone above & beyond in making this place welcoming, accommodating, and CLEAN! The Strength classes are my favorite because they combine barre with weights for an amazing full-body workout. I love taking them with Kimberly because she pays attention to everyone and will help you with your form and/or modifications when needed. 10/10 recommend this place!
